Simultaneous release of glutamate and acetylcholine from single magnocellular "cholinergic" basal forebrain neurons [PDF]
Basal forebrain (BF) neurons provide the principal cholinergic drive to the hippocampus and cortex. Their degeneration is associated with the cognitive defects of Alzheimer's disease. Immunohistochemical studies suggest that some of these neurons contain

Abstract The association between alcohol consumption and Parkinson's disease (PD) risk remains unclear, whereas smoking has an inverse relationship with the disease. This study systematically reviewed and meta‐analyzed 16 studies (2014–2024) from PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, MEDLINE, and the Cochrane Library to assess the relationship between ...

Altered Cerebrospinal Fluid Tryptophan–Kynurenine Pathway Metabolism in Multiple System Atrophy
Abstract Background Alterations in tryptophan–kynurenine (TRP‐KYN) metabolism, which is associated with neuroinflammation, remain unclear in multiple system atrophy (MSA). Objective The aim was to investigate cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) TRP metabolites in MSA and their associations with other biomarkers.

Untargeted metabolomics of colonic digests reveals kynurenine pathway metabolites, dityrosine and 3-dehydroxycarnitine as red versus white meat discriminating metabolites [PDF]
Epidemiological research has demonstrated that the consumption of red meat is an important risk factor for the development of colorectal cancer (CRC), diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular diseases.

Similarity Between the Action of Pteridines and Tryptophan Metabolites on Lipid Metabolism
Incorporation of fatty acids into phospholipids has been investigated using samples of rat liver tissue homogenate, Krebs-Ringer-phosphate buffer (pH=7.4) containing 0.3% albumin, fatty acid mixture and glycerol. The addition of anthranilic acid (2.2 and

Pathogenesis of Vitiligo: Integrating Immune and Non‐Immune Cell Crosstalk
ABSTRACT Vitiligo is an acquired autoimmune disease characterized by depigmented macules resulting from melanocyte loss. It is a complex multifactorial disorder in which genetic predisposition is combined with environmental factors; however, its detailed etiology remains unclear.

Serum kynurenic acid is reduced in affective psychosis [PDF]
A subgroup of individuals with mood and psychotic disorders shows evidence of inflammation that leads to activation of the kynurenine pathway and the increased production of neuroactive kynurenine metabolites. Depression is hypothesized to be causally associated with an imbalance in the kynurenine pathway, with an increased metabolism down the 3 ...

Dietary anthocyanidin pelargonidin activates G protein‐coupled receptor 35
Pelargonidin, a red‐fruit‐derived anthocyanidin, was newly identified as a dietary agonist of GPR35, a metabolite‐sensing GPCR implicated in anti‐inflammation. Through screening of dietary compounds, pelargonidin emerged as a potent GPR35 agonist, attenuating inflammation in human intestinal cells.

Role of pressor mechanisms from the NTS and CVLM in control of arterial pressure [PDF]
In the present study, we investigated the effects of inhibition of the caudal ventrolateral medulla (CVLM) with the GABA(A) agonist muscimol combined with the blockade of glutamatergic mechanism in the nucleus of the solitary tract (NTS) with kynurenic ...
